Sahih al-Bukhari 3355 (Book 60, Hadith 30) #3208
Physical Features of Abraham and Moses Compared to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) described the physical features of Abraham and Moses, and compared them to his own.

Narrated Mujahid: That when the people mentioned before Ibn 'Abbas that the Dajjal would have the word Kafir, (ie unbeliever) or the letters Kafir (the root of the Arabic verb 'disbelieve') written on his forehead, I heard Ibn 'Abbas saying, "I did not hear this, but the Prophet said, 'If you want to see Abraham, then look at your companion (ie the Prophet) but Moses was a curly-haired, brown man (who used to ride) a red camel, the reins of which was made of fires of date-palms. As if I were now looking down a valley".
حَدَّثَنِي بَيَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ وَذَكَرُوا لَهُ الدَّجَّالَ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ مَكْتُوبٌ كَافِرٌ أَوْ ك ف ر‏.‏ قَالَ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَمَّا إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَانْظُرُوا إِلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ، وَأَمَّا مُوسَى فَجَعْدٌ آدَمُ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ مَخْطُومٍ بِخُلْبَةٍ، كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ انْحَدَرَ فِي الْوَادِي

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the physical features of two prophets, Abraham and Moses, as described by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said that if one wanted to see what Abraham looked like, they should look at him because they were similar in appearance. He also said that Moses was a curly-haired man with brown skin who rode a red camel with reins made from date-palm fibers. This hadith teaches us that we should not judge people based on their physical appearance but rather on their character and deeds. It also shows us how much respect the Prophet ﷺ had for other prophets before him, as he compared himself to them in terms of physical features.
